I thought this episode was slightly better than usual. Probably because of Sumi lol

Not bad, but how can he just think of Mizuhara even when he is accompanied by that cute girl. Also, how can he has dirty fantasy every now and then -_-

Sumi was cute and all, but still a flat character either way.

Still hate Kazuya.

Finally the last episode to wrap things up.

This was legitimately hands down the best episode of the season for me, if not the series.

I don't think I realized how much I liked Sumi until this episode cause I literally don't think I've ever been this excited to see an anime character appear.

Overall perfect Sumi episode and she needs to be apart of this story, (even though I know people say she isn't much anymore) because she's like legit a perfect character for me.

Anyways 5/5 episode cause of Sumi alone.

AH YEAH, SUMI IS ALWAYS BEST GURL of KanoKari, fight me.

Given Chizuru's family expectations and Ruka's forced impulse, Kazuya is locked up in 2 different positions. But with Sumi, at least she's like a practice tool that helps the simp's decision-making, even though he still thinks with his dick.

Kazuya's date with Sumi in her signature school uniform, and the cutesy one acquired some tips from Mizuhara thanks to last episode's date. Sumi's guidance of a pleasure plan has the simp flustering, damn it Kazuya calm your dick down, just follow the ex-communicated one and have fun because she has made some progress.

Shinagawa Aquarium is the location, and Sumi casually just letting Kazuya be himself, she's more than content. But the dolphin show sure got them drenched until bad thanks some cultured playful dolphin, and even if Sumi feels like she failed in some part, Kazuya's replies instinctly...and that casual confession. The last stop to finish it off with the birthday present, and Sumi's elated that she finally pulled it off.

Even with the little that she is able to verbalize to the simp to get him to talk, Sumi's like a de-stress punching bag that doesn't mind sharing life, and while she's the perfect rental girlfriend whom understands like a friend in need.

That's why we love Sumi, as much as she's a side character. An insta-perfect episode.
Can't believe we're already almost at the end of yet another season...the question is will there be a Season 3 or a movie?

I liked this episode it was very calm and composed it had 0 cringe, it had importance, character development and some nice scenes. Could be one of the best episodes even though it barley had any other characters.

I think Sumi should apply for a part in the Komi-san anime.... defo the best girl in this show, and probably the only thing worth seeing in this weak series.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAThey really did drag Sumi into the mess. Fuck. Well it was gonna happen eventually if you think about it. But still tho damn.

There was no need to remind us next episode is final by saying "watch the final episode too" at the end.

This was an amazing epsiode, went by in a flash.

Kazuya really pulled an all-nighter looking up how to comfort Chizuru which actually wasn't of any help at the end, anyway it's the thought that counts. It did show just how much he cares for her which was nice. It would be nicer if Chizuru would actually let Kazuya comfort her, she always acts like the super-woman who always helps others and doesn't need any help herself. I think she's scared to be vulnerable especially at the present situation. I'm sure she's thinking like, "when grandma dies, I'm gonna be all alone and I will have to look after myself" and "I can't depend on anyone". Because I think if she shows even a tiny bit of vulnerability she wouldn't be able to stop, so she's just completely avoiding to seek any help from anyone, even Kazuya who I'm sure she knows on some level that will do anything for her.

Sumi was exceedingly adorable this episode. It was great to see her plan everything out, from her uniform to the show timings and stuff, she went all out just for Kazuya. This kind of gave us a hint for what came next, no normal rental gf would go to such lengths for thier clients who aren't even paying you.

Sumi genuinely getting impressed by Kazuya's knowledge and fascination of fishes got to give Kazuya a huge boost in confidence.

Kazuya may be cringy sometimes and horny most of the time but he's a really good guy though. The post-getting-wet-by-dolphin's-splash part proved that once again.

The post-splash line of Kazuya was a genuine complement to Sumi which just made her feel so good that she couldn't help herself but admit she has a crush on Kazuya. That was a nice wordplay by Sumi there lol, "tsuki" and "tsugi". I'm having mixed feelings at this development, first I'm kinda happy that this has happened which means more Sumi but on the other hand I'm like please don't drag precious Sumi into the mess only for her heart to be broken. I would hate to see Sumi's heart getting broken because we all know Kazuya has eyes only for Chizuru, he's fully commited to her alright.

That hat really suited Kazuya though not gonna lie, that was a nice present.

We even got Sumi speaking a lot in this episode. Rie Takahashi must be happy to finally have some lines other than cute Sumi noises.

But ok I did not expect to almost cry from watching an episode of rent a gf of all animes. I had to hold back so much, got teary-eyed tho, didn't cry. Kazuya's wording of it and the way he said all that had an impact. I mean we the viewers already knew whatever Kazuya said to Sumi. Seeing a tearing-up Kazuya was the breaking point for me, had to hold back. Though not gonna lie I for some reason actually laughed when I saw Sumi crying buckets and then I immediately felt tears forming so I held back again.

Kazuya and Sumi just sitting and crying together thinking about Chizuru's situation was such a beautiful scene. Sumi and Kazuya have definitely gotten closer (emotionally) after that. You make a different bond with someone who you have cried with. That must have been a healing moment for Kazuya.

Oh and we got the special Sumi matane again. Last time we got it was in Season 1's Sumi date. Been quite a few episodes since then.

And they really ended it on a cliffhanger like that. One more week of pain and then continous suffering till Season 3 is announced and then again painful wait till Season 3 actually airs. No worries though I will fill the hole left by this anime with several other animes.

This was one of the best episodes too and the fact that this felt like a 5 minute episode just further proves it.

If Sumi is actually a potential love interest now or not, we will only find out in next season I guess. I don't think they will give us another Sumi episode as the final episode of this Season. Also I want to see some Chizuru and Kazuya for the last episode. I'm really looking forward to next episode and how it ends. I'm having a lot of expectations not gonna lie, this season has been a lot better than Season 1 as well, not only in terms of story but the overall production quality as well. It's great.

6/5 episode.

The episode was cute and everything and I really like the character development of Sumi-chan, and I also really like how Kazuya wasn't really into p*rn or dirty stuff in this episode, considering he knew that Sumi was just a young-very-innocent-girl

I think you got the wrong anime, Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World is that way (just kidding but the last episode of that anime did have a finger sucking scene, among other things...)

Anyways, this was one of the better episodes in my opinion. I do like how Kazuya acts more "normal" around girls other than Chizuru and Mami, I think if he acted like this Chizuru may actually admire him more often, like how Sumi did here. Definitely curious how this will end as preview appears to show Chizuru going out with presumably another client and then sitting by herself at a movie theater.

I read the manga. I guess its no longer a spoiler because it wasn't adapted. CHAPTER 96 After the dolphin show they were supposed to go to do another place, look it up yourself if you wanna know. ig it isn't really that significant to the plot but still I wanted to see it cuz its kinda hot. too bad they probably ran out of time for the episode thats why it didn't got adapted.

Mami - total asshole who dumped mc (fair enough) but then got interested in him again only when he got another girlfriend. Seems to think she still has some sort of claim on him as his ex (wtf)

Ruka - total cutie and she really wants mc ffs mc, forget about Chizuru and choose this girl! Oh wait....she blackmailed him into this relationship. Total red flag.

Chizuru - a mature & confident girl. Has dreams and goals. She deserves to pursue those. MC please leave her alone to do that, you're only going to hold her back. You'll get over her if you move on. Her growing feelings for you are only because she's getting used to your dumbness.

Sumi - She tries so hard. She can see her own shortcomings and is growing. Pretty huge step to become a rental girlfriend to work on shyness! MC is also growing. I reckon he's less of a dick than in s1. She seems to genuinely care about him. Cutest of the bunch. Best Girl. Hoping mc's relationship with Chizuru is teaching him how to be worthy of this girl (probably not, cos writer's probably going to eventually pair him with Chizuru)

Its like this season 2 just forgot about the Mami drama. I was really expecting some Mami drama, but goodness. And with one episode left, it looks like its gonna focus on the male MC and the female MC only with the grandmother situation of the female MC.

I guess the Mami drama is gonna be left off if there is a season 3.

As for this episode 11, it was nice, but again, like I said in a previous episode post, Sumi at this point is just a useless character. She was adorable in episode 11 of season 1, but since then, her character is just pointless. Sumi would be better off just appearing in OVA/special episodes.

Well, one more episode to go.

Aw man, it's a shame a hot scene like that wasn't included :( Without spoiling anything, do you think they will continue with a season 3 since the manga has so many more chapters or did the preview imply they may try to conclude it? I kind of hope for a season 3 but that's if there is progression, although some of the drama with Ruka is pretty entertaining.
